Hi, We did the opposite here; adding some SSD in free slots after having a normal cluster running with SATA. We just created a new pool for them and separated the two types. I used this as a template: http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/operations/crush-map/?highlight=ssd#placing-different-pools-on-different-osds and left out the part with placing a master copy on each ssd. I had to create the pool, rack and host in the crush rules for the first server (wouldn't let me from the command line using 'ceph osd crush set ...'), after that I could just add servers/osd to it like normal. I think unless you really need two separate clusters, I'd go with just having different pools for it; you'll need a copy of every service (mons, storagenodes etc) with two clusters. More info on running multiple clusters here: http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/configuration/ceph-conf/#running-multiple-clusters Cheers, Martin On Tue, Mar 5, 2013 at 9:48 PM, Stefan Priebe <s.priebe@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > right now i have a bunch of OSD hosts (servers) which have just 4 disks > each.
